A fan letter to Admiral Drake lands the first of twelve penguins at Mr. Popper's house. It was hard enough for Mr. Popper to support himself and his family. The addition of twelve penguins made it impossible to make both ends meet. Then Mr. Popper had a splendid idea -- the talented penguins would be a sensation on stage. Hilarious, slapstick adventure abounds in this timeless classic that keeps children, and adults, laughing to the end.
